Description
Api concentrated fish dechlorinator is a super-concentrated water treatment that removes chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals from tap water using just one drop per gallon. This 4-ounce bottle may be compact, but its extreme concentration means it treats over 4,700 gallons of water, making it one of the most economical dechlorinators available for aquarium fishkeepers. The powerful formula works instantly on contact, making tap water fish-safe the moment it is treated. No waiting, no aging, no complicated dosing calculations. Simple, effective, affordable water safety for your fish. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

API has been formulating trusted aquarium care products for over 60 years, and the tap water conditioner is their most concentrated and cost-effective water treatment.
Extreme Concentration
The api concentrated fish dechlorinator is among the most concentrated water conditioners on the market. Where standard dechlorinators require capfuls or teaspoons per water change, this formula needs just a single drop per gallon. The extreme concentration translates directly into value, as one small bottle lasts through hundreds of water changes.
One Drop Simplicity
The remarkably simple one-drop-per-gallon dosing eliminates measurement errors and complicated dosing calculations. Count the drops based on your tank size and the job is done. This simplicity is perfect for beginners who might struggle with more complex dosing requirements and for experienced aquarists who appreciate efficiency.
Chlorine Elimination
Municipal water treatment adds chlorine to kill waterborne pathogens, but this same chlorine is lethal to aquarium fish and the beneficial bacteria that maintain water quality. The dechlorinator breaks down chlorine molecules instantly, converting them into harmless chloride ions that pose no risk to aquatic life.
Chloramine Protection
Chloramine is a more persistent disinfectant used by many water utilities that cannot be removed by aging water or aerating it. Standard dechlorinators designed only for free chlorine leave chloramine intact and dangerous. This formula specifically targets and neutralizes chloramine, providing complete protection regardless of your water utility's disinfection method.
Heavy Metal Binding
Trace metals dissolved in tap water from aging pipes, soldered joints, and municipal infrastructure accumulate in aquariums over time. Copper is particularly dangerous to invertebrates, while lead and zinc affect fish organ function at low concentrations. The formula chelates these metals into harmless complexes that cannot damage aquatic organisms.
Compact 4-Ounce Bottle
The small bottle stores conveniently alongside other aquarium supplies without taking up valuable space. Despite its compact size, the super-concentrated formula provides treatment for thousands of gallons of water. The dropper-style cap enables precise drop counting for accurate treatment of any water volume.
Freshwater and Saltwater Safe
The formula is compatible with all freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments. Tropical community tanks, cichlid setups, planted aquariums, marine fish-only systems, and reef tanks all benefit from properly conditioned water. The product contains no additives that could interfere with saltwater chemistry or protein skimmer operation.
Beneficial Bacteria Friendly
Untreated chlorine in water changes destroys the beneficial bacteria colonies that power biological filtration. A single untreated water change can crash the nitrogen cycle, leading to deadly ammonia and nitrite spikes. The dechlorinator protects these essential bacteria, maintaining the stable biological filtration your fish depend on.
Shrimp and Invertebrate Safe
Freshwater shrimp, snails, and other invertebrates are extremely sensitive to chlorine and dissolved metals. Even brief exposure can be fatal to these delicate creatures. The thorough detoxification provided by this dechlorinator is essential for shrimp keepers and anyone maintaining invertebrate populations in their aquariums.
Travel Size Convenience
The compact 4-ounce bottle is perfect for travel kits, show tank maintenance bags, and keeping at the office for desk aquariums. Fish show exhibitors appreciate the portable size for treating water at show venues. The small format fits in any bag or pocket while still treating enormous water volumes.
Water Change Routine
Incorporating the dechlorinator into every water change protects your aquarium consistently. Simply count the drops for the volume of new water being added and treat it as it goes into the tank. This routine ensures your fish are never exposed to untreated tap water during maintenance.
Hospital Tank Treatment
Hospital and quarantine tanks require conditioned water just like display tanks. The precise drop dosing makes it easy to treat the smaller water volumes typical of hospital setups. Sick fish are already stressed and vulnerable, making properly conditioned water even more critical for their recovery.
Pond Water Treatment
The concentrated formula is also effective for treating tap water used to top off or refresh garden ponds containing fish. The one-drop-per-gallon rate scales easily to pond volumes. Pond fish are equally susceptible to chlorine and heavy metal toxicity as aquarium fish.
UAE Aquarium Essential
UAE desalinated and chlorinated tap water requires treatment before use in any aquarium. The chlorination levels can vary between emirates and seasons, making consistent treatment essential. The super-concentrated formula provides reliable protection at exceptional value for UAE fishkeepers performing frequent water changes in warm conditions.
